While this forum is heavily NHL-biased, the world hockey championships are getting underway today in Switzerland.
Matchups today:
Norway-Finland
Sweden-Austria
Czech Republic-Denmark
USA-Latvia
I'm picking:
NORWAY +3.5 @ -133 - Finland are heavy favourites but Norway has a tight defence (usually) and a good goaltender and should keep within 4 of the fins.
SWEDEN -3.5 @ -143 - Sweden have a very solid team and should blow Austria away in this matchup. Look for 5-6 goals for the swedes and maximum 2 for austria.
USA -1.5 @ -175 - Latvia is a stronger opponent than many realize, but for the first game USA should win this by 2 or more quite easily on pure weight alone.
